The 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates season is the franchise's ongoing 144th season overall, 139th season as a member of the National League, and 25th season at PNC Park.
On May 8, manager Derek Shelton was fired after posting a 12–26 record to begin the season. Bench coach Don Kelly was named manager the same day.[1]
On June 28, franchise legend Dave Parker died from complications of Parkinson's disease at the age of 74. As a member of the Pirates, Parker won two National League batting titles, was the 1978 National League Most Valuable Player, and was a member of the 1979 World Series team. His death occurred 29 days before his scheduled Baseball Hall of Fame induction.[2] The Pirates are currently having yet another extremely poor season, as they are last in the NL Central with a 51–71 (.418) record, the third-worst in the National League.
Offseason
The Pirates finished the 2024 season with a 76–86 record, failing to make the playoffs for the ninth consecutive season.
